heh heh

the glass falling off the desk was the icing on the cake... I feel sorry for anyone that thought that car was cool...

I apologize to anyone reading this that thought it was cool, and bid on the car when it hit eBay, but it's better you know now.

did I hear the guy say it was up to 130 dB? must go way louder then that, my car can do 130 dB with only a small 10" sub and 500w, something not right
but I do know the wax in my ears don't fall out although my nose hairs get itchy

for 3000w you're drawing about 190amps, 8kw is a big leap from there...

so Actually, like I said, not even close to being able to deliver the 8kw they said they were, regardless of how many caps they had, the alt just wouldn't be able to recharge the batteries...

Mark

Edit, it's actually closer to 215amps for 3000w....

Yes Mark, all of what you wrote above, it turns out, was correct. Apparently.
